Abstract:Cloud attenuation in satellite communication systems becomes a relevant issue as the frequency increases, and thus, it has to be taken into account when link availability is being calculated. This atmospheric impairment is a variable atmospheric phenomenon whose characterization has to be done not only on a yearly-basis but also on a seasonal and monthly basis. In the present paper, cloud attenuation statistics are reported at 20 GHz, 40 GHz and 75 GHz during rainy and non-rainy seasons in El Alto, Bolivia, at… Show more
